Have you had a medical condition or chronic illness for some time and have been told:

“Live with it”“It’s a natural part of getting old”“It’s stress”"It’s all in your mind”“Here take these”

If you answered YES to even just a few of these, then the source of your pain and discomfort may well be originating from your atlas. It may well be worth asking, “Is my head on straight?”
